Hello! I have a NVMe SSD 960 EVO m.2 (PCI-e) disk and I want to be able to connect it to my computer via USB-C (with FULL speed offc). Is there any "chassis" or something that I can buy to put it into and connect it to the computer?

I'm not aware of any external USB device that would be available for that Samsung M.2 SSD to be installed in. Even if the Samsung could be installed as a USB external device and connected as a USB 3.1 Gen2 device (either with a Type A connector or a Type C connector) its performance would be woefully inferior in comparison to the drive being internally-installed to the motherboard's appropriate PCIe M.2 socket.

I take it you do not have an appropriate motherboard for that M.2 drive. Is that the problem?

Hello and thank you Very Much for the Reply :)

Thats True. I have a iMac 2017 with the Thunderbolt-USB-C-«thing» and i thought it was fast as hell (Even for this disk if there was a «external accessory» to plug it in from)
